NYC, BOSTON & MORE SOLD OUT ON DEBUT US OCTOBER TOUR

PRAISE FOR SPACEY JANE “feels like rediscovering the best summer of your youth.” NPR Music “Building on the band’s signature warbly, psych-tinged indie-rock, the new song shines with cleaner, more layered production, delicate synth accents and a soaring chorus.” NME (Aus) on ‘Sitting Up’ “life-affirming” The Guardian “captures the lively spirit of the summer heat” SPIN “The magic Spacey Jane formula: raw emotion and honesty, delivered with warmth and vibrancy” triple j “‘It’s Been A Long Day’… finds the quartet mining heartache for rousing melodies” American Songwriter

Breakout Australian 4-piece, Spacey Jane, today share “Hardlight” – first played by BBC Radio1’s Jack Saunders – from their forthcoming album, Here Comes Everybody out June 24th, 2022. On the heels of their first time touring the UK, the band is gearing up for a headline Australian run before making their North American debut this October with already sold-out dates in NYC, Boston, Toronto, and more.

LISTEN/WATCH ‘HARDLIGHT’ + PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE HERE COMES EVERYBODY 

“Hardlight” is another Spacey Jane epic, telling a story we all know in some capacity or another. Set to a backdrop of pristine drums pushing wandering guitars along a briskly, uplifting pace, the backing vocals are like the air you’re forced to breathe in a little deeper while running, dancing, kissing, crying… Of the new track, guitarist Caleb Harper shares, “I wrote this song about how I was feeling like my life was a bit like one of those nightmares where you’re at school with no pants except I used the metaphor of being on set and forgetting all of your lines (because it felt less silly). I guess it’s about anxiety but also just having no idea what I’m doing even though I want it to look like I really do.”

The music video, directed by Nick McKinlay, shows the band spending a day cruising along the Yarra River in Melbourne on a ferry boat. The result is another sweeping, kinetic, joyous visual that shows off the band’s live chops.

Spacey Jane’s forthcoming album, Here Comes Everybody, is a nod to Wilco’s beloved album, ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’. It was the working title for the record and Jeff Tweedy himself wrote to the band with his blessing to borrow the phrase. Frontman Harper says he wants this album to be, “for youth persevering and thriving emotionally under the weight of our generational burden,” citing COVID and climate change as two things trying to hold young people back. With songs written across 2020, the band then held sessions where they are from in Western Australia with Dave Parkin as well cross country in Brisbane with Konstantin Kersting (Mallrat, The Jungle Giants, Genesis Owusu).

Here Comes Everybody sounds and feels like an album that has truly been lived in. Whether it’s on the sprightly indie-pop of single ‘Lunchtime’, the aching ballad ‘It’s Been A Long Day’ or the atmospheric ‘Not What You Paid For’, every note is imbued with hard-earned wisdom now being passed down to a new generation. “You shouldn’t have to pretend that you’re in control or have it figured out when you’re 18,” Caleb says of ‘Bothers Me’, a glistening album highlight that reflects on the process of leaving school and realizing your whole life is ahead of you. “Anyone who says otherwise can get fucked.”
